Trust me, you don’t want your used potions leaking out of your sewer pipes – that’s how you get animated oozes… or worse.
Varrus Dargonovich is an arcane plumber, Guild branded, and a master of his trade. He spends his days wading through arcane sludge patching pipes and cleaning up spilled souls but he dreams of becoming a mage. The only problem is he doesn’t come from the right kind of family. Trolls aren’t Collegium material.
Besides, they’d never afford the tuition.
The Guild dues have gone up again and the family was barely making ends meet. When his older brother gambles away their savings, Varrus takes a job from the man his brother lost their money to. A job that requires no questions asked and pays more than a year’s salary.
He should have trusted his gut and refused.
The day after he finishes the job, the lab at the Collegium where he was working explodes killing dozens of mages. Suddenly, Varrus is a fugitive running through the sewers fighting for his life and to clear his name.
What People are Saying:
“The Fugitive meets a rich, gritty magical realm with magical problems that feel like a mirror of reality. Pulis’ work is a delightful romp with high, tantalizing stakes.” —Elise Volkman, Editor
